Plain-English explanation
CSMS 4318401 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (trade policy), published on November 13, 2024. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Cash deposit instructions for certain quartz surface products from India (A-533-889)". It links to 1 AD/CVD case in Tandom's catalog.

Frequently asked questions
What is CSMS 4318401?
CSMS 4318401 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin titled "Cash deposit instructions for certain quartz surface products from India (A-533-889)". CSMS bulletins are the operational instructions CBP issues to brokers, importers, and ACE filers covering rate changes, system updates, scope guidance, and other day-to-day customs-operations changes.
When was CSMS 4318401 published?
CBP published CSMS 4318401 on November 13, 2024. The bulletin's instructions are typically operative as of the publication date unless the body specifies a different effective date.
Which AD/CVD cases does CSMS 4318401 affect?
CSMS 4318401 references 1 AD/CVD case (A-533-889). The links on this page take you to each linked order with its current scope, rates, and history.
Yes — for at-the-border filing and entry collection. CSMS messages translate Commerce's Federal Register determinations into operational CBP instructions that ACE/ACS systems and brokers execute. The Federal Register notice is the underlying legal authority; the CSMS is the operational implementation. Both should be read together when reconciling a rate or scope change.
Determine if a product is in scope of an AD/CVD order
Scope text is authoritative; the HTS list is illustrative. Read scope, find past rulings, and file a 19 CFR 351.225 inquiry. Worked example on case A-570-106 (wooden cabinets from China).
